Did some masking to stamp the flowers and leaves.Used mix of distress ink,memento ink and water color markers for stamping.The background looked empty so made a subtle pattern using stencil(TCW-quatrafoil) and light grey ink.

A simple pencil colored card :) Inspired by so many beautiful pencil colored images shared on blogs I brought my color pencils out (they are very old ,from my school days !) I find layering colors
using pencils tricky ,I could not go beyond three layers.So the results
are just passable !

I have CASEd Shona's card to stamp the floral cluster. The lovely flowers are from dainty blooms(Mudra Craft Stamps). Did some masking and selective stamping.

Used happy anniversary from The Big ,the bold and Happy set (W & W ) to create a circular frame for the floral cluster.Kept it very simple (no sequins, no splatters )

I have not created much OLCs ,enjoyed creating this one ,hope you like it :)

Faux Chalkboard again !! hope you are not bored of seeing it again and again.The starting point for this card was the ribbon banner.Did some trials to fit the sentiment in it. Drew rough outlines on the black cardbase using a chalk and then heat embossed the sentiment in parts.Later used a white gel pen to draw the banner.

Stamped the confetti on the top portion of the card using tiny stamps from Dream Catcher set(Mudra craft stamps).Used a colorful pp (Glitz- Color Me Happy) to create a shaker frame.

Hello friends , Today I have a faux-chalkboard card to share.I love this technique very much and when I saw this month's Mudra Challenge ,I knew I am not going to miss it :)

SO here I am with a birthday card.Started by heat Embossing the sentiment in white.Then stamped the Dainty blooms,and few additional flowers around it with white pigment ink.Both the stamps are from Mudra Crafts Stamps.

I tried many options for coloring but none of them poped on black ,so went for acrylic paints (layers of it !).Used color pencils for highlights and shadows. As I wanted the focus to be on the chalkboard look ,kept it simple ,just layering over a light pink cardstock. If you are wondering how come the black looks so black ,I have blended some archival black ink around the edges.Made a matching envelope.

Hope you liked the card and give this technique a try ! Thank you for visiting :)
